It's really unreal as to how sharp and in focus your stuff is, with or without the stacking.
Do you still have that shot of your camera and lenses and the stacked extenders around to show us again?
That was so interesting to me, and I am sure, a lot of others, I hope that I am not dreaming that I saw it.
I think that it was back when you first bought your red dot focus, or whatever that was.

I have no doubt at all that you can get that 2400mm's to work, I would LOVE to see a shot of that all put together too, to show us.
I wonder what all of this will weigh, have you weighed any of this?

Thanks, Sha!

Thank you very much, Randy! I can't find a photo of the 600mm with stacked TC, but here is a photo of my 100-400mm with stacked TCs. The black part is Kenko 16mm extension tube that connects the two teleconverters. The two TCs and extension tube together is not much bigger than Canon 2X TC. The 600mm lens is just bigger. The whole setup with the 600mm is just a bit over 9lbs, I believe, still not hard to hand hold

Thank you very much, Mike! Great idea! :lol::-P

Thank you very much, recrisp :lol:

Coot with stacked TC. It is time to up the game to 2 x 2X TC soon. My friend already tried it, BIF still works at 2400mm :lol:

Now I know where the phrase, "He's an odd duck" comes from. Odd behavior by a Northern Shoveler.

A Gang Gang having feed of nuts I that I came across while travelling through Daylesford VIC on weekend . . This is one of only a few Gang Gangs that has ever let me get this close (approx 4-5 meters. )

Magnifcent capture Clipper.
Really beautiful bird.
